  • the one kind of radical unit in the present disclosure has a four-layered structure in which a first electrode, a first separator, a second electrode and a second separator are sequentially stacked, or has a repeating structure in which the four-layered structure is repeatedly stacked.
  • at least two kinds of radical units in the present disclosure are stacked only by ones in a predetermined order to form the four-layered structure or the repeating structure in which the four-layered structure is repeatedly disposed.
  • the first radical unit forms a four-layered structure by itself
  • the second radical unit and the third radical unit form a twelve-layered structure by stacking one of each, that is, two radical units in total.
  • the cell stack part or electrode assembly may be formed only by stacking, that is, by repeatedly stacking one kind of radical units or by stacking at least two kinds of radical units in a predetermined order.
  • the cell stack part of the present disclosure may be formed by stacking the radical units one by one. That is, the cell stack part may be manufactured by forming the radical units and then stacking the radical units repeatedly or in a predetermined order. As described above, the cell stack part of the present disclosure may be formed by only stacking the radical units. Therefore, the radical units of the present disclosure may be very accurately aligned. When the radical unit is accurately aligned, the electrode and the separator may also be accurately aligned in the cell stack part. In addition, the cell stack part or electrode assembly may be improved in productivity. This is done because the manufacturing process is very simple.
  • a manufacturing process of the first radical unit will be exemplarily described with reference to FIG. 7 .
  • a first electrode material 121, a first separator material 122, a second electrode material 123 and a second separator material 124 are prepared.
  • the first separator material 122 and the second separator material 124 may be the same.
  • the first electrode material 121 is cut into a certain size through a cutter C1
  • the second electrode material 123 is cut into a certain size through a cutter C2.
  • the first electrode material 121 is stacked on the first separator material 122
  • the second electrode material 123 is stacked on the second separator material 124.
  • the electrode materials and the separator materials are attached to each other through laminators L1 and L2.
  • a radical unit in which the electrodes and the separators are integrally combined may be formed.
  • the combining method may be diverse.
  • the laminators L1 and L2 may apply pressure to the materials or apply pressure and heat to the materials to attach the materials to each other.
  • the stacking of the radical units may be more easily performed while manufacturing the cell stack part.
  • the alignment of the radical units may be also easily accomplished because of the attachment.
  • the first separator material 122 and the second separator material 124 are cut into a certain size through a cutter C3 to manufacture the radical unit 110a.During this process, the edges of the separators are not joined with each other.
  • the electrode may be attached to the adjacent separator in the radical unit.
  • the separator may be attached to the adjacent electrode.
  • the electrode may be stably fixed to the separator.
  • the electrode has a size less than that of the separator.
  • an adhesive may be applied to the separator.
  • the adhesive it is necessary to apply the adhesive over an adhesion surface of the separator in a mesh or dot shape. This is because if the adhesive is closely applied to the entire adhesion surface, reactive ions such as lithium ions may not pass through the separator. Thus, when the adhesive is used, it is difficult to allow the overall surface of the electrode to closely attach to the adjacent separator.
  • the separator may include a porous separator base material such as a polyolefin-based separator base material and a porous coating layer that is generally applied to one side or both sides of the separator base material.
  • the coating layer may be formed of a mixture of inorganic particles and a binder polymer that binds and fixes the inorganic particles to each other.
  • the inorganic particles may improve thermal stability of the separator. That is, the inorganic particles may prevent the separator from being contracted at a high temperature.
  • the binder polymer may fix the inorganic particles to improve mechanical stability of the separator.
  • the binder polymer may attach the electrode to the separator. Since the binder polymer is generally distributed in the coating layer, the electrode may closely adhere to the entire adhesion surface of the separator, unlike the foregoing adhesive. Thus, when the separator is used as described above, the electrode may be more stably fixed to the separator. To enhance the adhesion, the above-described laminators may be used.
  • the inorganic particles may have a densely packed structure to form interstitial volumes between the inorganic particles over the overall coating layer.
  • a pore structure may be formed in the coating layer by the interstitial volumes that are defined by the inorganic particles. Due to the pore structure, even though the coating layer is formed on the separator, the lithium ions may smoothly pass through the separator.
  • the interstitial volume defined by the inorganic particles may be blocked by the binder polymer according to a position thereof.
  • the densely packed structure may be explained as a structure in which gravels are contained in a glass bottle.
  • the inorganic particles form the densely packed structure
  • the interstitial volumes between the inorganic particles are not locally formed in the coating layer, but generally formed in the coating layer.
  • the pore formed by the interstitial volume also increases in size. Due the above-described densely packed structure, the lithium ions may smoothly pass through the separator over the entire surface of the separator.
  • the radical units may also adhere to each other in the cell stack part. For example, if the adhesive or the above-described coating layer is applied to a bottom surface of the second separator 114 in FIG. 1 , the other radical unit may adhere to the bottom surface of the second separator 114.
  • the adhesive strength between the electrode and the separator in the radical unit may be greater than that between the radical units in the cell stack part. It is understood, that the adhesive strength between the radical units may not be provided. In this case, when the electrode assembly or the cell stack part is disassembled, the electrode assembly may be separated into the radical units due to a difference in the adhesive strength.
  • the adhesive strength may be expressed as delamination strength.
  • the adhesive strength between the electrode and the separator may be expressed as a force required for separating the electrode from the separator.
  • the radical unit may not be bonded to the adjacent radical unit in the cell stack part, or may be bonded to the adjacent radical unit in the cell stack part by means of a bonding strength differing from a bonding strength between the electrode and the separator.
  • the separator when the separator includes the above-described coating layer, it is not preferable to perform ultrasonic welding on the separator.
  • the separator has a size greater than that of the electrode.
  • the separator may adhere to the horn due to the coating layer having the adhesive strength. As a result, the welding apparatus may be broken down.
  • radical units having the same size have been explained.
  • the radical units may have different sizes.
  • cell stack parts having various shapes may be manufactured.
  • the size of the radical unit is explained with reference to the size of the separator, because, typically, the separator is larger than the electrode.
  • a plurality of radical units is prepared and may be classified into at least two groups having different sizes (see reference numerals 1101a, 1102a and 1103a in FIG. 9 ).
  • a cell stack part 100c having a structure of a plurality of steps may be formed.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate an embodiment in which the cell stack part includes three steps obtained by stacking the radical units 1101a, 1102a and 1103a classified into three groups, in which the radical units having the same size are stacked together, is illustrated. That is, in FIGS. 8 and 9 , an embodiment in which three steps are formed by stacking radical units having the same size is illustrated.
  • the radical units included in one group may form two or more steps.
  • one step may be formed by using one radical unit in a cell stack part.
  • the radical unit has a structure of the first radical unit, that is, the above-described four-layered structure or the repeating structure in which the four-layered structure is repeatedly stacked.
